‎1868-1869 HANDWRITTEN CIVIL WAR ERA ARCHIVE OF HANDWRITTEN DIARIES LEDGERS AND AN 1880s AUTOGRAPH BOOK‎

‎Brooklyn New York Minneapolis MN. Very Good. 1868. On offer is a Civil War era archive of five 5 books of which two are the handwritten manuscript diaries from 1868 and 1869 of M. B. Thurlow. Ms. Thurlow lived in Brooklyn New York and helped run a store on South Street New York. There are daily entries from July 24th 1868 to December 31st 1869. Very intensly written sometimes even cross-written each day begins with a weather report plus store activities. Otherwise Ms Thurlow makes personal comments tells the events of the day and identifies relatives and social activities. It appears that the store has dealing with quite a number of ships and there is an address for a Captain Masston of San Francisco prominently recorded. There are a number of trips recorded to Ithaca New York where we believe she had more family. Also there are many many dozens if not hundreds of names which will provide a treasure trove for genealogists and historians. Along with the two diaries are two ledger books that based on a casual reading appear to be business related to the store and in a different hand likely a man's handwriting. A closer reading of the diaries and the ledgers will no doubt reveal the connection between Ms. Thurlow and the man writing in the ledgers. In one of the ledgers is a section approximately 4 weeks worth of entries detailing a voyage and is of a technical nature giving longitude and latitude weather etc. etc. Lastly there is an autograph book relating to the mid 1880s with autographs and quotes signed from many individuals in New York and Minneapolis. We received these items together and are certain they relate and as such we will only sell the grouping intact.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA ALS ARCHIVE BROOKLYN NEW YORK MINNEAPOLIS SHIPPING STEAMERS RETAIL DIARY DIARIES CIVIL WAR ERA . unknown‎

‎McCORMICK, Robert S (1849-1919)‎

‎Autograph Fragment unsigned‎

‎Grandson of inventor Robert McCormick nephew of reaper inventor Cyrus Hall McCormick father of editors Joseph Medill McCormick and "Colonel" Robert R. McCormick -- this career diplomat joined the State Department in 1887 serving as U.S. ambassador to Austria-Hungary 1902 Russia 1902-05 and France 1905-07 although according to one journalist McCormick's "career as a dilettante diplomat took a backseat to his more serious pursuit of alcohol." Autograph Fragment unsigned on printed calling card heavy stock 3" X 1½" London England n.y. Near fine. Handsome italic "Mr. Robert McCormick" printed at center and beneath this McCormick has penned in brown ink in his small neat hand "Hotel Belgravia / Victoria Street S.W." Likely dates from early in his State Department career else a title such as "Ambassador" would have preceded his name. The card bears a heavy printed black border or "mourning rule" but since it's difficult to assign a date to this it's also difficult to determine what death in his family would have occasioned the mourning border. The Victoria Street area of southwest London is appropriate as it was chock full of foreign embassies and McCormick must have been on some State Department assignment there. Not signed alas but a most unusual item nevertheless. unknown‎

‎McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)‎

‎Signed Ink Drawing‎

‎Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 18" n.p. 1929. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear and mild soiling. Labeled "Putting their Sincerity to the Test" by McCutcheon along the lower margin this single-panel cartoon depicts President Herbert Hoover full length front and center and facing right wonderfully executed as he stands in front of a circular table. With his arms he presents a large scroll laid out on this table which reads in full: "Proper defense requires military strength relative to that of other nations. We will reduce our strength in proportion to any other. It remains for the others to say how low they will go. It cannot be too low for us. Hoover's Armistic Day address." Hoover is saying "There! Now let's see if you're really sincere in wanting to give your tax payers some relief from their armament burdens." Behind Hoover at the left of the drawing a sketchy figure of a worried-looking Uncle Sam sits astride huge sacks of money labeled "U.S. Resources." In front of Hoover at the right of the drawing stand six attentive listeners: A portly "Britain" in Edwardian getup sports a Union Jack vest while alongside him a shadowy figure is hunched by the huge sack he hoists labeled "British Armament Burden on the Tax Payer"; "France" in military uniform scratches his bewhiskered chin while a similar hunched figure strains under a sack labeled "French Naval Burden on the Tax Payers"; behind these figures stand "Japan" in military uniform a "Japanese Burden" sack just visible at his side and "Italy" in military uniform sack at his side. On November 11 1929 Hoover had expressed these Armistice Day sentiments in a speech given before the Annual Convention of the Mississippi Valley Association. This drawing which McCutcheon dates "Nov. 13" at lower left is a superb and provocative example of McCutcheon's ability to humanize political concepts to make abstract notions concrete. And artistically this rendering of Hoover is among his very best. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown‎

‎McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)‎

‎Signed Ink Drawing‎

‎Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 18½" n.p. n.y. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear. A cryptic untitled cartoon consisting of five panels: two across the top one across the middle and two across the bottom. The upper left of the top two panels shows traces of a title underneath pencilled in McCutcheon's hand but erased for some unknown reason that reads: "The Invention as applied to the Automobile." This drawing shows a crazy-looking automobile apparently coal-powered for it bears two large smokestacks bearing a fashionable couple zipping along one of them marveling "A marvelous invention! It cheers the heart sweetens the breath and prevents bagging at the knees." To the right of this the next panel depicts a biplane aloft also apparently coal-powered showing one large smokestack cruising above the earth a voice from within asking "Hey down there is this the right road to Singapore" From the earth far below appears a voice bubble containing Chinese characters. A pencilled caption in McCutcheon's hand below this has likewise been erased a couple words decipherable but not enough to make sense of it. The large wide middle panel shows a gargantuan metal ship -- a sailing ship and steamboat appear small as ants in the foreground -- chugging along also apparently coal-powered with several humongous smokestacks. The lower left panel depicts a strange propeller-driven rocket of some sort again apparently coal-powered showing a smokestack -- possibly a missile -- zipping from west to east far above the earth; a pair of tiny figures on North America seem to cheer it along and its destination in Europe is a tiny city outcropping labeled "Potsd--." Finally at lower right the last panel shows two tiny figures in what might be a junkyard. In the foreground is a pile labeled "Coal 5 Cents a Ton" but filling the background left to right are three massive oil storage containers marked "Standard Oil Co." with a sign poking out reading "For Sale Cheap to Right Party" next to this a building with smokestacks and a sign reading "Power Plant for Sale" next to this a huge structure and a sign reading "Gas Plant for Sale or Rent Will Subdivide to Suit Tenant" and lastly several enormous metal tubes and a sign reading "Bargains in Old Boilers." Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. Presumably McCutcheon is commenting on depressed prices of various fuel sources at this time and the continued availability of coal unknown‎

‎Signed Ink Drawing‎

‎Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 17½" n.p. n.d. ca. 1919. Very good. Slight edgewear and minor soiling. Labeled "He would Rather Explain than answer" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin this handsome single panel piece depicts an angry-looking Uncle Sam in profile in the foreground poking the shorter man in front of him identified as "Cox" and demanding "Are you for Article X -- answer me Yes or No" The shorter fellow sweating responds "Let me explain." Uncle Sam points with his other hand at two large placards posted on a wall. The placard at left reads: "Elihu Root on Article X. Article X is an alliance to enforce perpetually through the operations of the League the decisions of Mr. Wilson and his associates in the year 1919. Article X is a throwback to the old discredited alliances of the past. Article X speaks a language of power and not the spirit of progress. Article X is an attempt to do what the Holy Alliance sought 100 years ago with just as noble expressions of purpose to impose by force the judgment of the rulers of the present generation upon all future generations." The placard at right reads: "Pres. Wilson on Article X. Article X is the heart of the covenant." Former senator and secretary of state Root at this time president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was well known as a strong supporter of the League of Nations -- BUT with strong reservations mainly about Article X which he thought highly impractical.

‎Signed Ink Drawing‎

‎Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 19" n.p. 1931. Very good. Very minor and bit of soiling. Labeled "Cartoons of the Day" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin followed by three subtitles this handsome three-panel piece contains three unrelated topics. The top panel titled "No time to waste" celebrates aviator Wiley Post and navigator Harold Gatty's June 1931 record-breaking eight-day flight around the world. At Left Post's plane the "Winnie Mae" is about to land and Post leans out holding up two fingers and shouting "Lunch for two!" From a building at right labeled "October Field Moscow" three waiters rush each carrying a large platter one labeled "Zakuski" another "Cabbage Soup" and the third "Cucumbers". Moscow was one of fourteen stops the pair made on their famed flight. The middle panel titled "The Grave Digger gets a big surprise" must have been occasioned by an unexpected rise in the stock market. Next to a street sign showing "Broad" and "Wall" streets a wide-eyed bear rushes away from a tombstone dropping his shovel and exclaiming "Great Scott! He seems to be alive!" The tombstone reads "Mr. Bull / Fatally / Injured / in October / and November / 1929" and a dazed bull is pulling itself up out of the whole. The lower panel titled "When an Idealist runs up against a Realist" shows a puzzled Uncle Sam scratches his chin and reads a cable: "Cablegram / French Proposals / on Debt Moratorium / U.S. to Sacrifice $250000000 / Germany Gets the Benefit / on Only $150000000. / France Sacrifices / Nothing." To the right a sweaty little man gazes at a wall thermometer that's clearly rising pushing up his hat labeled "ADT" to mop his brow and exclaim "Whew!" Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. A delightful trio. unknown‎

‎Signed Ink Drawing‎

‎Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 17" n.p. n.y. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear and mild soiling. Labeled "Look out for a flood of currency bills when Congress convenes" by McCutcheon along the lower margin this single-panel cartoon depicts a horde of twenty older gents -- smoky back room politicos no doubt -- hurrying from the right middle ground into the left foreground where a large finger-pointing shaped sign staked into the ground reads "To the Congress." Next to this sign stands a huddling child wrapped up from the cold and a seated dog observing the parade. The full-length figure in the lead likely represents a Western state representative wearing cowboy hat and bolo tie chomping a cigar and clutching a carpetbag in one hand and a rolled-up scroll labeled "Bill for Solution of the Currency" in the other. All of the other figures clutch similar rolls one identified as "Bill for Elastic Currency" and the others "Currency Bill." The other gents are obviously supposed to represent various types of politicians -- old-school types in top hats and formal dress Theodore Roosevelt types in more modern attire Buffalo Bill-type goateed old-timers etc. A fascinating and amusing commentary on the many currency reform measures that peppered Congressional debate in the early years of the 20th century.
